	Weather forecasting - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Weather forecasting is the science (or as some argue, the art) of predicting the state of the atmosphere for a future time and location.
		Today, weather forecasts are made by collecting as much data as possible about the current state of the atmosphere (particularly the temperature, humidity and wind) and using understanding of atmospheric processes (through meteorology) to determine how the atmosphere evolves in the future.
		It was not until the invention of the telegraph in 1837 that the modern age of weather forecasting began.

		Aristotle made some remarkably acute observations concerning the weather, along with some significant errors, and his four-volume text was considered by many to be the authority on weather theory for almost 2000 years.
		Small lightweight boxes equipped with weather instruments and a radio transmitter, radiosondes are carried high into the atmosphere by a hydrogen or helium-filled balloon that ascends to an altitude of about 30 kilometers before bursting.
		Only fifty years ago, weather forecasting was an art, derived from the inspired interpretation of data from a loose array of land-based observing stations, balloons, and aircraft.

	science.ca Profile : Roger Daley
		These numerical descriptions of the atmosphere (or variations of them) form the basis of virtually all forecasting and long-term climate simulations in use everywhere in the world to this day, including at the United States Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorological and Oceanographic Center (FNMOC) in Monterey, California.
		Good weather forecasts are essential for agriculture and all forms of transportation, among many other human endeavours.
		Daley decided to become a weather forecaster because, he said, “I wanted to do something practical with my education, something that would help people in ordinary life.” The physics of weather seemed more practical to him than nuclear physics, for instance.

		This exhibition is being produced in collaboration with SPARC (Springfield, Peoria, Aurora, Rockford and Carbondale, Illinois) and represents a strong model for collaboration between museums, science centers and the formal educational system.
		El Nino Returns, Could Upset Nation's Weather (August 11, 1997) -- The weather pattern known as El Nino is re-emerging in the Pacific Ocean, and that could bring a change in weather for next winter, and perhaps for the next few years.
		Thunderstorm -- A thunderstorm, or an electrical storm, is a form of weather characterized by the presence of lightning and its attendant thunder.

	Dr. Guosheng Liu's Information Page - Florida State University Meteorology Department
		Areas of interest are radiative transfer, satellite remote sensing, and applications of satellite measurements to weather forecasting and climate research.
		He has developed algorithms to retrieve cloud liquid water, cloud ice water, precipitation and surface turbulent fluxes using a combination of visible, infrared and microwave satellite observations.
		He has also developed a fast and accurate radiative transfer model for applying satellite microwave data to physical parameter retrievals and numerical weather forecasting models.

		He loved life and people with great zest, and it will be no surprise to those who knew him that the last beat of his heart occurred shortly after extending his arm to shake the hand of one of his doctors.
		He was proud of his election to Sigma XI, the American society devoted to the promotion of research in science.
		He organized numerous conferences and courses for university and college teachers.
